Jinsong Yu, Xu Huang, Xiuxiu Wu, Hui Cao, Min Yuan, Tai Ye, Fei Xu
According to the experimental parameters for the interaction of Cd(II) with ligands, the binding sites of Cys and GSH were –SH, –NH2 and –COOH, and the thermodynamic behaviour of Cd(II) with Cys/GSH in boric acid and HEPES buffers was different, exothermic in HEPES but endothermic in boric acid.

Drop deformation in a planar elongational flow: impact of surfactant dynamics

Julian Wailliez, Paul Regazzi, Anniina Salonen, Paul G. Chen, Marc Jaeger, Marc Leonetti, Emmanuelle Rio
We measure the deformation of a drop under an extensional flow. The drop is less deformed than for a pure liquid because of the depletion of surfactants at the tips, which we attribute to the adsorption/desorption dynamics of the surfactants.
